I think Howard made it pretty clear that he didnt know the guy too well, but appreciated what he did for the show and thought he was very talented. I thought he handled it fine.Id put Giraldo in the same grouping in terms of relationship with Howard as Florentine, Fitzsimmons, Levy, Lampanelli. Actually Greg was probably even below that grouping.You are probably right shouldnt compare to Kinison and Schimmel - but I figured the guy came in many times for free to do the roasts and other stuff - he was one of the most talented comics out there and to only do a few minutes on it is strange to me...especially when the show drags so much...they could have talked about it, played clips from not just the booey roast but a few comedy central roasts - would have been much better use of time IMO - Girlado was hysterical....Do you really think that Greg Giraldo was that big a part of the show? It's not like Schimmel who Howard had a personal/professional relationship with for a long time. Howard was clearly broken up about that whole thing and did over an hour straight on it, plus parts of the rest of the show.And Kinison was one of the biggest figures in comedy and had so many memorable appearances on the show.What exactly were you expecting him to say. I don't think that Howard really knew him much.wow - didnt hear it yet but thought it would be a good hour or so....guess after all the dead friends of the show hes getting even colder...the Kinison tribute show was one of the best ever!Raider Nation said:Am I the only one who was supremely disappointed by Howard's monologue today regarding Greg's death?"Well.... [sigh] ... Greg Giraldo died. He's been on our show a few times. Funny guy."Then they played a clip of his five minutes at the Baba Booey roast then basically changed the topic. It was as if some bum who begs for change in front of the Sirius building died.
